Hunger has claimed us

Our stomachs are empty

And we are thirsty

Oh, we are hungry

We can see…

The delightful food

Set on the table

Mere inches from our faces

Hunger has claimed us

Our stomachs are empty

And we are thirsty

Oh, we are hungry

We can see…

The delightful food

Set on the table

Mere inches from our faces

Then a bony head reaches out

Fingers closing around

A loaf of bread…

Not just a loaf…

But the biggest loaf…

Hunger has claimed us

Our stomachs are empty

And we are thirsty

Oh, we are hungry

Why must you be so greedy?

Don’t you see…

That us little ones should be the first to eat?

Hunger has claimed us

Our stomachs are empty

And we are thirsty

Oh, we are hungry

Oh…oh...so hungry

But that bony hand draws close

Breaking pieces from the loaf

Sharing with all

The delightful food

Can’t we have faith in each other..?

Before calling out others flaws?

Oh, can’t we have faith in each other?
